Leg shaving is like summer tyres on cars, right? Easter - October?

If you ask my girlfriend summer tires should never be allowed.......

Saw your post regarding your measurements and sizing, and saw that you went for Medium in you RS. Would you go Medium in RSR as well?

Went for a 2 hour ride this morning with the RSR in M, felt fine, good and tight fit, still a little unused to the compressing on the legs.

The padding felt a little less than on the T.Mille? Or maybe they just have different kind of paddning style...

The new pad is lower profile overall compared to the S7.

Seems a little odd at first, and then the S7 feels too big after a while.

I'll tell you all a little secret - I need to get some production ones myself, rather than the samples I am still using!

There you go. They're never perfect are they?

..

On topic I finally got to use my Hashoogi yesterday. Verdict: It's pretty damn perfect. Quite unlike any girlfriend.

I thought the pad was the same, except the color..

S9 Pad is definitely thinner.. Less diaper effect.

I love the thinner pad much more.

Both comfortable though.

Agree, the S9 was way thinner. Also sat better on the ass compared to the S7, less diaper and less wedgie for me at least...

Just don't confuse the "wedgie" of the Milleshorts S7 with the "pouch" of the Équipeshorts S7, which is similar to the "pouch" on the RS S9 and RSR S9.

Ah no no, more like an actual wedie (pad sneaking up in the ass).

First long ride with the RSR today (4hrs), awesome shorts that really stay in place! A little bit skeptical of the thinner padding. Went for a 2hr ride yesterday with the T.Mille and the extra padding thickness was really noticable.

Its a weird thing, the RSR is more comfortable as a whole, but i think i perfer the padding of the T.Mille.

Any suggestions to what bib to buy then? Équipeshorts S7?
